I applied online. I interviewed at Brookdale Senior Living (Santa Rosa, CA)
Interview
They contact you and leave a message, asking if you’re interested, and then to contact them, executive director, or business manager at this phone number. I responded back and left two different messages in one week. I got a phone call two weeks later asking me if I was still interested in the position. I responded again and left a message because nobody’s available to talk to you when you’re calling in to confirm your interest. No phone interview. They only ask if you’re still interested and then set up in- person interview.
